The Matrix? Oh yes...! I've gone so far as to refer to myself as the human equivalent of the red pill *chuckles
I've noticed the program-like behaviour of the harcore sceptics too, Vinstonas. "Everyone is a potential agent." *grin
The agents/pseudo-sceptics represent MIND, while others of us represent CONSCIOUSNESS! Big difference. Mind is programmable like a computer. Consciousness--when it finally breaks through--destroys the programming, opens the mind and enhances perception, which is why we both appreciate the Matrix heheheh

I'm a big Icke fan, I love the balls the guy's got. Doing the work he's been doing, knowing all along he'd get absolutely crucified for it--gotta respect that. For anyone who's wondering, the lizards are real--the interdimensional ones at least... hahaha! I have my sources.

(That's gonna go down well with the sceptics!) I've read about 8 of his books and watched many hours of his talks. Not sure if I ever watched that particular one though! Good link! Happy to talk Icke and Matrix with anyone, any time... B) Been researching the NWO for a while now. Not always a bag of laughs that.
Thanks for those other links too mate, I'll check 'em out. Self-publishing means lots to learn for a first time author(!)
It's coming up to midnight now and I'm losing my ability to think straight (assuming I ever had it)--better head off. Catchya again soon.
